@notjustbikes Mute or unfollow people who post too much.
Mute boosts from people who boost too much.
Follow hashtags instead of people if you just care about certain topics and not life updates/shitposts.
Create lists of people (although I don't do this myself), and read those lists instead of your timeline.
See popular toots in the Explore section (caveat: limited to what your local instance sees).
I would like to see an Explore feature limited to most popular toots from people you follow.
